Hey Scott,
Long-time reader here, as I might've alluded to in one of my other e-mails. I've been reading your stuff for about ten years now. My memory sucks, so I can't remember which site I discovered you on, but I followed you from site to site through the years until your current Blog of Doom. I've got all your other books, so picking up this one up was a no-brainer.
And I liked it. A lot. I guess I never set down and did the math concerning how often guys were dying, and your coverage of it was a wake-up slap in the face. And this coming from a guy who, if I'd had enough money then, wanted to skip my high school graduation in order to go to Owen's funeral. I may be just another jaded smark, but when the main reason I check 411mania.com/wrestling/news daily is to see if anyone died the previous day, something is clearly wrong with the business.
My only quibble with the book, coming from being a long time reader, was that a few bits of it seemed lifted word-for-word from The Buzz on Professional Wrestling. But seeing as how that was quite a while ago, and I have no idea how available it is now nor how many of your newer readers have ever read it, it's understandable.
So is this it from you, book-wise? I know you're pretty uninterested in the current product, but if the right idea strikes I really hope you follow up on it. You've got at least one guaranteed buy right here.
Thanks!
Yeah, I stole some of the Bret Hart stuff from the original manuscript of Buzz because I thought I had pretty much written what I needed in that book and it's long out of print anyway.
I've been mulling over doing Scott's Book of Lists, but I'm thinking I'd just self-publish on the 'net because I don't think there'd be much interest from the publisher. But given how many people want top 5 lists from me there'd probably be enough demand to justify it at $20 a pop or whatever.
And of course you can click on the link on the right and purchase Dungeon of Death from Amazon RIGHT NOW.
